SCAM ALERT: Fake DMV text messages circulating

State officials have issued a warning about a scam involving text messages purportedly sent by the Department of Motor Vehicles. The messages are not from the DMV and are part of a phishing scheme, authorities said.

Recipients are advised not to respond to the messages or click on any links. The scam aims to steal personal information or install malicious software on devices, officials warned.

The DMV has emphasized that legitimate communications will not come via unsolicited text messages. Residents are encouraged to stay vigilant and report any suspicious messages to authorities.
